Beyoncé's 'Blackbiird' country collaborators all got matching tattoos

Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, and Tiera Kennedy each got a blackbird tattoo with an original design.

Working with Beyoncé on her song "Blackbiird" had a lasting effect on her collaborators.

The superstar's reimagining of the Beatles classic features four Black country singers — Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, and Tiera Kennedy — and they recently revealed that they got matching tattoos to commemorate their time recording the track from the Grammy winner's chart-topping new album, Cowboy Carter.

The musicians did not get identical tattoos, opting instead to personalize their blackbird designs, which were inked by tattoo artist Hannah Matthews. Roberts shared the story with Billboard on the CMT Awards red carpet.

"We actually got matching tattoos," Roberts said. "Mine isn't exactly matching, but we all got a symbolism of our blackbird." Hers features black wings next to the words, "Thou shall reign heavenly fire."

Roberts offered a detailed look at her tattoo on Instagram along with Adell's blackbird.

Kennedy showed off her cowboy hat–touting bird in flight in an Instagram reel, saying it was inspired by the singers' "Blackbiird" cover and "I Ain't a Cowgirl," her recent single: "They both remind me of my strength and remind me that with the Lord, I can do anything."

Matthews also shared photos, including close-ups of the art and portraits of the singers. "Long story short— these stunning, sweet sweet, AMAZINGLY talent black female country artists (@tanneradell @brittneyspencer @thereynaroberts @tieramusic) were featured on Beyoncé's new country album!!!" she wrote on Instagram.

"I was lucky enough to be able to give them each a blackbird tattoo to commemorate this milestone and great achievement in their career," Matthews said. "Once again, feeling like my life is a movie and I don't know how I got here. Forever grateful to have spent time with each of these empowering women!!"

The remake recently got the stamp of approval from none other than Beatles member Paul McCartney, who wrote the original track.

"I am so happy with @beyonce's version of my song 'Blackbird,'" McCartney wrote on Instagram. "I think she does a magnificent version of it, and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place. I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out. You are going to love it!"
